Use the TCP/IP SO_KEEPALIVE option

On some UNIX and Linux systems, we can define how long TCP waits before checking that the connection is still available, and how frequently it tries the connection again if the first check fails. This is either a kernel tunable parameter, or can be entered at the command line.

To use the SO_KEEPALIVE option (for more information, see Check that the other end of the channel is still available ) we must add the following entry to your queue manager configuration file (qm.ini):

TCP:
KeepAlive=yes

See the documentation for the UNIX and Linux system for more information.
